It is designed to be used alongside Nordic’s existing nRF52® and nRF53® Series Bluetooth Systems-on-Chip (SoCs), and nRF91® Series cellular IoT Systems-in-Package (SiPs). The nRF7002 can also be used in conjunction with non-Nordic host devices. An nRF7002-based device, or a nRF7002 Development Kit (DK) is required. Key features: * Provisioning nRF7002 devices to Wi-Fi networks over BLE, Wi-Fi itself or NFC. * Reading device status, including Wi-Fi connection state. * Re-provisioning nRF7002 devices to a different network.
ARCON MFA

Your accounts deserve better protection than a text message code. ARCON MFA is a free authenticator that generates secure login codes for any account offering two-factor authentication (2FA), entirely on your device and without ever sending your data anywhere. WHY PEOPLE TRUST ARCON MFA - Works fully offline. Codes are generated on your device using the same open TOTP standard (RFC 6238) trusted by Google, Microsoft, GitHub, and thousands of other services. - No sign-up, no account, no ads. Scan a QR code and you are protected. Nothing to register, nothing to buy. - Locked behind Face ID. Your codes stay hidden until you unlock the app, so a lost or borrowed phone cannot expose your accounts. - Zero tracking. ARCON MFA collects no analytics, uses no advertising identifier, and does not follow you across other apps or websites. - Built by a security company. ARCON has secured privileged access for banks, enterprises, and government organizations for over a decade, and that same discipline is built into this app. YOUR EVERYDAY AUTHENTICATOR - Add any account with a quick QR code scan, including email, social media, developer tools, banking, and cloud services - Generate time-based one-time passcodes (TOTP) even with no internet or cellular signal - Keep every account organized in one clean, searchable list - Protect access with Face ID or your device passcode Everything above works the moment you install the app. No employer, no ARCON account, and no setup needed. IF YOUR WORKPLACE USES ARCON If your employer or organization already runs ARCON's MFA platform, this activates automatically when you add a work account, with nothing to configure: - One-tap push approval, so you approve or deny a login request without typing a code - Challenge-response OTP for high-assurance verification on sensitive access Whether you are protecting a personal email account or your company's most sensitive systems, ARCON MFA keeps every sign-in safe and simple.
